Battery Drain:
If you track your walking by foot steps, then the phone screen cannot be turned off. To save the battery drain I would recommend you can shut off the data connection during the use of this app. To turn off data connection, go to Phone app, under preference you can see Data Connection and set it to Off. This significantly improve the battery drain.

Couple of users contacted me saying that the app timer is working but not the step counter in the updated app. I contacted them and tried to fix the problem but could not make it work. I did not get any other issues from other users so I am assuming it is working for almost all users. Hope it works in the next update for this couple of users. I am sorry for this unknown issue.
Please note that I use the same version of the app and I use it every day and so far it works.
Few things you can check:
- the app counts right only if the phone is placed in the holster or palm case and clipped at the waist level
- a new setting 'delay' is introduced in the updated version. The app will not start counting until this delay (in sec)
